In Spanish, they say there's a single step between love and hate; that the same intense passion fuels both emotions. This week on Alt.Latino, we explore both sentiments, and many that lie between.

We start with a Chilean band that adamantly wishes a former love would just get lost, but rapidly move on to a Mexican group that hopes a special lady never goes away. Also from Mexico, singer Carla Morrison recently premiered the video for "Eres Tú" ("It's You"), which celebrates gay marriage. Across the border, Austin's Royal Highness offers a chopped-and-screwed version of "Que Le Pasa A Mi Camión" ("What's Wrong With My Truck"), one of the strangest psycho-sexual cumbias we've ever heard. (In the singer's nightmare, his girlfriend has morphed into a truck, and he's unable to drive it.)

We close the show with an Argentine band's klezmer/swing reinterpretation of a Britney Spears hit — I'll give you a hint: She's stuck in a toxic relationship — while Chile's Manuel Garcia reminisces about the women he's loved and lost. Whether you're falling in love or stumbling into heartbreak's gutter, you ought to find something that speaks to you here.
